Brute Force [aka Primitive Man] (1914) is a short silent drama film directed by D. W. Griffith, in Los Angeles, California. It is a story of cavemen and dinosaurs, and perhaps the first live-action dinosaur film. A segment of my theory is a possibility that the perspective D.W. Griffith's film provided may have triggered a discovery among select few. This discovery, whether already known or newly known, may have triggered many subsequent events, such as the Second World War.
D.W. Griffith Observation. Motion picture legend Charlie Chaplin called Griffith "The Teacher of us All". This sentiment was widely shared. Filmmakers as diverse as John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Lev Kuleshov, Jean Renoir, Cecil B. DeMille, King Vidor, Victor Fleming, Raoul Walsh, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Sergei Eisenstein and Stanley Kubrick have spoken of their respect for the director of Intolerance. Orson Welles said "I have never really hated Hollywood except for its treatment of D. W. Griffith. No town, no industry, no profession, no art form owes so much to a single man."
World War II (WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, though related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis.
It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources.
Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centers (in which approximately one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.
Griffith was discovered unconscious in the lobby at the Knickerbocker Hotel in Los Angeles, where he had been living alone. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage on July 23, 1948, at 3:42 PM on the way to a Hollywood hospital.

"Fighting Blood" seems to be the film in which a 18 year old Robert Harron plays his first leading role.
A Civil War veteran has settled in Dakota with his family. Every day he organizes "military" drills for his army, consisting of a dozen children from teenagers to toddlers. One evening he has a fight with his oldest son Richard (Robert Harron) to make him stay home. Richard leaves nonetheless, and rides to the home of his girlfriend (Florence La Badie).
On the way back he notices that Indians are attacking neighboring farms. He rushes to warn his girlfriend's family, takes her to his home, and gallops to bring help chased by the enemy.
The veteran's military training comes handy as the whole population is mobilized for the home's defense. Friendly troops, alerted by Richard, arrive just in time.

Hitler'sSecret Weapons: The German U BoatDocumentary - Films
U-boat is the anglicised version of the German word U-Boot, a minimizing of Unterseeboot, literally "undersea boat". While the German term refers to any kind of submarine, the English one (in common with numerous various other languages) refers specifically to armed forces submarines operated by Germany, specifically in the First and also Second World Wars. Although at times they were reliable fleet weapons against enemy naval battleships, they were most successfully utilized in an economic warfare duty (commerce raiding), applying a marine blockade versus foe delivery. The main targets of the U-boat projects in both wars were the business convoys bringing materials from Canada, the British Empire, as well as the United States to the islands of the United Kingdom and (during the Second World War) to the Soviet Union and also the Allied areas in the Mediterranean.
At the beginning of World war, Germany had twenty-eight U-boats; in the initial 10 weeks, they sank five British cruisers. On 5 September1914, HMS Pathfinder was sunk by SM U-21, the initial ship to have been sunk by a submarine making use of a self-propelled torpedo. On 22 September, U-9 sank the out-of-date British battleships HMS Aboukir, HMS Cressy and also HMS Hogue (the "LiveLure Squadron") in a single hr.
In theGallipoli Campaign in early 1915 in the eastern Mediterranean, German U-boats, especially the U-21, avoided close support of allied troops by 18 pre-Dreadnought battlewagons by sinking two of them. [7]
For the initial few months of the battle, U-boat anti-commerce activities observed the "prize guidelines" of the moment, which controlled the therapy of adversary noncombatant ships as well as their owners. On 20 October 1914, SM U-17 sank the very first business ship, the SS Glitra, off Norway. [8] Surface business raiders were verifying to be ineffective, and also on 4 February 1915, the Kaiser assented to the affirmation of a battle zone in the waters around the British Isles. This was cited as a retaliation for British minefields as well as delivery blockades. Under the instructions provided U-boat captains, they might sink business ships, even potentially neutral ones, unheralded.
In February 1915, a submarine U-6 (Lepsius) was rammed and both periscopes were damaged off Beachy Head by the collier SS Thordis influenced by Captain JohnBellRNR after firing a torpedo. [9] On 7 Might 1915, SM U-20 sank the lining RMS Lusitania. The sinking declared 1,198 lives, 128 of them American civilians, as well as the attack of this unarmed civilian ship deeply surprised the Allies. Baseding on the ship's show, Lusitania was bring armed forces freight, though none were classified as ammo because they were classified as little arms and also had bulk of non-explosives. This extensively made the ship a non-military target. In fact, Lusitania had actually been bring little arms for years prior to the sinking in 1915. It was not up until the sinking of the ferryboat SS Sussex that there was a prevalent reaction in the united state

W. Griffith

W. Griffith was the second head football coach for Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas and he held that position for the 1896 season. His overall coaching record at Washburn was 6 wins, 1 losses, and 1 ties. This ranks him number 24th at Washburn in terms of total wins.

Robert Harron

Robert Emmett "Bobby" Harron (April 12, 1893 – September 5, 1920) was an American motion picture actor of the early silent film era. Although he acted in over 200 films, he is known for his roles in the D.W. Griffith directed films The Birth of a Nation (1915) and Intolerance (1916).

Early life and family

Born in New York City, Harron was second oldest child of nine siblings in a poor, working-class Irish Catholic family. Harron's younger siblings John (nicknamed "Johnnie"), Mary and Charles also became actors while one of his younger sisters, Tessie, worked as an extra in silent films. Charles was killed in a car accident in December 1915. Tessie died of Spanish influenza in 1918 while Harron's brother John died of spinal meningitis in 1939.

Harron attended the Saint John Parochial School in Greenwich Village. At the age of fourteen, he found work as an errand boy at American Biograph Studios. In addition to cleaning duties, Harron also appeared as an extra in a few shorts for Biograph.

D. W. Griffith

David Llewelyn Wark "D. W." Griffith (January 22, 1875 – July 23, 1948), the "Inventor of Hollywood", was an American film director who pioneered modern film-making techniques. He is mostly remembered for the groundbreaking 1915 film The Birth of a Nation, as well as its sequel Intolerance (1916). He is closely associated with his frequent leading lady, Lillian Gish.

Griffith began making short films in 1908, and released his first feature, Judith of Bethulia, in 1913. His film The Birth of a Nation made pioneering use of advanced camera and narrative techniques, and its immense popularity set the stage for the dominance of the feature-length film in the United States. Since its release, the film has been highly controversial for its negative depiction of African Americans and glorification of the Ku Klux Klan. Today it is both lionized for its radical technique and condemned for its racist philosophy. Filmed at a cost of $110,000, it returned millions of dollars in profits, making it, perhaps, the most profitable film of all time, although a full accounting has never been made. The film was subject to boycotts by the NAACP and, after screenings of the film had caused riots at several theaters, the film was censored in many cities, including New York City. Intolerance, his next important film, was, in part, an answer to his critics.

Billy Bitzer

Biography

Prior to his career as a cameraman, Bitzer developed early cinematic technologies for the American Mutoscope Company, eventually to become the Biograph Company. He admired and learned the art of motion picture photography from Kinetoscope inventor W.K.L. Dickson, who directed the early Biograph shorts on which Bitzer cut his teeth. Until 1903, Bitzer was employed by Biograph primarily as a documentary photographer, and from 1903 onward primarily as the photographer of narrative films, as these gained popularity. (Hendricks 1964, pp.5)

In 1908 Bitzer entered into his first collaboration with Griffith. The two would work together for the rest of Bitzer's career, leaving Biograph in 1913 for the Mutual Film Corporation where Bitzer continued to innovate, perfecting existing technologies and inventing new ones. During this time he pioneered the field of matte photography and made use of innovative lighting techniques, closeups, and iris shots.

All That Heaven Allows 1955 ( Full Movies )

Dante's Inferno, 1910's - Film 2032

Dante's Inferno, 1910's - Film 2032

Dante's Inferno, 1910's - Film 2032

Dante's Inferno. Hell. The devil.
Extracts from 1912 feature film showing use of trick photography for special effects.
The screen text says, 'After 1910 longer, more ambitious films, often derived from famous plays and books became popular,’ this is then replaced with, 'This excerpt from "Dante's Inferno (1912) " show how trick work was used to convey the literary imagery of the original poem,'. We then see two actors on stage, on the floor are bodies, one near the front seems to be moving. We then see a bearded actor with horns coming from the top of his head, in his mouth appears to be the bottom half of somebody, legs kicking in the air, the actor's hands are made up to seem hairy and claw like. We then see a shot of the devil eating a person from a distance.
The two actors from before stand on a ledge looking out over flames. From above two angels come down, a woman and a man supporting her, the actors point at these two. These two then float off and one of the actors falls over seemingly in grief. An actor dressed in white looks at someone lying down, behind him is a sea of flames. The End then comes up.
Text appears on the screen saying, ' Meanwhile plots developed, films lengthened and the feature arrived . . . In 1912 "Dante's Inferno" a five reel film from Italy, created a sensation by running at the Tivoli, London, for a year, here is a short extract,'.
Text in a different type face then appears, ' There Minos stands, grinning with ghastly features,'. The actor playing Minos sits on a rock by a cliff face, he is large and bearded with what looks like a tail prop coming from his behind, in front of him stands a demon holding a trident and next to the demon is a white haired man shaking, two actors come on to the set, one is dressed in white and the other is in darker colours, they point around and then leave with the white haired man. Another half naked man comes onto the set.
Then the text appears, 'the stormy blast of Hell with restless fury drives the spirits on, whirled round and dashed amain with sore annoy,'. The two actors stand looking at bodies that are trapped in a whirlwind. The text then says, 'As dove's by fond desire invited on wide wings. And flew to their sweet nest returning home,'. We see the earlier footage of the two spirits coming down to visit the actors. A man and a woman stand in a room, they are the same actors that played the spirits, the woman is dressed as you may expect a Princess to be dressed, while the man is dressed in what looks to be 16th century academic clothing, next to him is table top. The man appears to be reading from a book while the woman talks to him. The text comes up, ' I through compassion fainting seem'd not far from death & like a corpse fell to the ground,'. We know see the spirits fly away, the actor in the dark clothing faints and we once again see the swirl of spirits as they fly over head.
'Cerberus, the cruel three headed dog on guard over the greedy. They are harassed by his continuing howling,'. The two actors now walk through a cave section where they find Cerberus. Cerberus appears to be a puppet, with the three heads waving around, the actual dog appears to be very woolly. The actor in white hits the dog and it yelps, lying its heads on the ground.
'Rutus on guard over the Prodigals and the Avaricious,'. Rutus looks off the screen and when the two actors walk past he starts to growl. Rutus continues to growl but the actor in white makes a hand signal which causes Rutus to stop growling.
The next part of the film is in a purple tint. The actors come into a cave, they are high up on a ledge. They look down to see a cave filled with bones, three naked and long haired people walk into the shot. Some kind of creature jumps on one of them, turning his body into a form that resembles a mummy, when the mummy form disappears the man is covered with markings and moves very stiffly. Another of the creatures does the same to one of the men. The next part of this sequence is in a brown tint. Men with only a rag to protect their modesty come towards the actors who are standing on the cave ledge, one in a hat and a mask pushes them on. Then a headless figure comes in, in his right hand is a head, the head appears to be talking, animatedly.
The two actors are again looking out over the whirlwind of people, an orange tint is being used which makes the people appear to be like flames. We see the same footage of the spirits floating down only in the orange tint. The two actors walk through a path way that has little stones on it, they come into an open clearing where people have been buried up to their necks and are moving their heads around, in the distance we see the devil eating people. We then see tinted footage of the devil which was shown at the start of the film.

As the fellow waits to catch a train, he seemingly finds himself trouble. With the brute force of a strongman, unlucky timing of a gimp, and a broken pocketwatch, he isn't just waiting anymore. Soon he'll be catching the "A" train.
A film project for school, but honestly one of the greatest films i've ever made. And how fitting that it's a silent film, I love silent films! From the intense and thrilling organ music you've always known but never knew the name of. To a very entertaining and comedic story line that could even make the public today laugh out loud. I'm very proud of it and consider it a shining achievement for myself. As well as a homage to the greats of that time, sadly long since gone from the bygone era. To be more specific, I took inspiration from Buster Keatonfor the stunts, Charlie Chaplin for the characters characteristics, and Harold Lloyd for the overall visuals and edits. Also a special thanks to my awesome friends and real characters Logan and DakotaHutchins. I LITERALLY wouldn't of done this if it wasn't for them. Don't think i've ever had a film turn out even better then I expected like this(everyone actually liked it!).
Love this film to bits, hope you enjoy it too!
FunFact: This is my 100th film to be published on Youtube.

U-boat is the anglicised version of the German word U-Boot, a minimizing of Unterseeboot, literally "undersea boat". While the German term refers to any kind of submarine, the English one (in common with numerous various other languages) refers specifically to armed forces submarines operated by Germany, specifically in the First and also Second World Wars. Although at times they were reliable fleet weapons against enemy naval battleships, they were most successfully utilized in an economic warfare duty (commerce raiding), applying a marine blockade versus foe delivery.

Brute Force [aka Primitive Man] (1914) is a short silent drama film directed by D. W. Griffith, in Los Angeles, California. It is a story of cavemen and dinosaurs, and perhaps the first live-action dinosaur film. A segment of my theory is a possibility that the perspective D.W. Griffith's film provided may have triggered a discovery among select few. This discovery, whether already known or newly known, may have triggered many subsequent events, such as the Second World War.
D.W. Griffith Observation. Motion picture legend Charlie Chaplin called Griffith "The Teacher of us All". This sentiment was widely shared. Filmmakers as diverse as John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Lev Kuleshov, Jean Renoir, Cecil B. DeMille, King Vidor, Victor Fleming, Raoul Walsh, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Sergei Eisenstein and Stanley Kubrick have spoken of their respect for the director of Intolerance. Orson Welles said "I have never really hated Hollywood except for its treatment of D. W. Griffith. No town, no industry, no profession, no art form owes so much to a single man."
World War II (WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, though related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis.
It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources.
Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centers (in which approximately one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.
Griffith was discovered unconscious in the lobby at the Knickerbocker Hotel in Los Angeles, where he had been living alone. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage on July 23, 1948, at 3:42 PM on the way to a Hollywood hospital.

"Fighting Blood" seems to be the film in which a 18 year old Robert Harron plays his first leading role.
A Civil War veteran has settled in Dakota with his family. Every day he organizes "military" drills for his army, consisting of a dozen children from teenagers to toddlers. One evening he has a fight with his oldest son Richard (Robert Harron) to make him stay home. Richard leaves nonetheless, and rides to the home of his girlfriend (Florence La Badie).
On the way back he notices that Indians are attacking neighboring farms. He rushes to warn his girlfriend's family, takes her to his home, and gallops to bring help chased by the enemy.
The veteran's military training comes handy as the whole population is mobilized for the home's defense. Friendly troops, alerted by Richard, arrive just in time.

Hitler'sSecret Weapons: The German U BoatDocumentary - Films
U-boat is the anglicised version of the German word U-Boot, a minimizing of Unterseeboot, literally "undersea boat". While the German term refers to any kind of submarine, the English one (in common with numerous various other languages) refers specifically to armed forces submarines operated by Germany, specifically in the First and also Second World Wars. Although at times they were reliable fleet weapons against enemy naval battleships, they were most successfully utilized in an economic warfare duty (commerce raiding), applying a marine blockade versus foe delivery. The main targets of the U-boat projects in both wars were the business convoys bringing materials from Canada, the British Empire, as well as the United States to the islands of the United Kingdom and (during the Second World War) to the Soviet Union and also the Allied areas in the Mediterranean.
At the beginning of World war, Germany had twenty-eight U-boats; in the initial 10 weeks, they sank five British cruisers. On 5 September1914, HMS Pathfinder was sunk by SM U-21, the initial ship to have been sunk by a submarine making use of a self-propelled torpedo. On 22 September, U-9 sank the out-of-date British battleships HMS Aboukir, HMS Cressy and also HMS Hogue (the "LiveLure Squadron") in a single hr.
In theGallipoli Campaign in early 1915 in the eastern Mediterranean, German U-boats, especially the U-21, avoided close support of allied troops by 18 pre-Dreadnought battlewagons by sinking two of them. [7]
For the initial few months of the battle, U-boat anti-commerce activities observed the "prize guidelines" of the moment, which controlled the therapy of adversary noncombatant ships as well as their owners. On 20 October 1914, SM U-17 sank the very first business ship, the SS Glitra, off Norway. [8] Surface business raiders were verifying to be ineffective, and also on 4 February 1915, the Kaiser assented to the affirmation of a battle zone in the waters around the British Isles. This was cited as a retaliation for British minefields as well as delivery blockades. Under the instructions provided U-boat captains, they might sink business ships, even potentially neutral ones, unheralded.
In February 1915, a submarine U-6 (Lepsius) was rammed and both periscopes were damaged off Beachy Head by the collier SS Thordis influenced by Captain JohnBellRNR after firing a torpedo. [9] On 7 Might 1915, SM U-20 sank the lining RMS Lusitania. The sinking declared 1,198 lives, 128 of them American civilians, as well as the attack of this unarmed civilian ship deeply surprised the Allies. Baseding on the ship's show, Lusitania was bring armed forces freight, though none were classified as ammo because they were classified as little arms and also had bulk of non-explosives. This extensively made the ship a non-military target. In fact, Lusitania had actually been bring little arms for years prior to the sinking in 1915. It was not up until the sinking of the ferryboat SS Sussex that there was a prevalent reaction in the united state

It was not up until the sinking of the ferryboat SS Sussex that there was a prevalent reaction in the united state

Dante's Inferno, 1910's - Film 2032

Dante's Inferno. Hell. The devil.
Extracts from 1912 feature film showing use of trick photography for special effects.
The screen text says, 'After 1910 longer, more ambitious films, often derived from famous plays and books became popular,’ this is then replaced with, 'This excerpt from "Dante's Inferno (1912) " show how trick work was used to convey the literary imagery of the original poem,'. We then see two actors on stage, on the floor are bodies, one near the front seems to be moving. We then see a bearded actor with horns coming from the top of his head, in his mouth appears to be the bottom half of somebody, legs kicking in the air, the actor's hands are made up to seem hairy and claw like. We then see a shot of the devil eating a person from a distance.
The two actors from before stand on a ledge looking out over flames. From above two angels come down, a woman and a man supporting her, the actors point at these two. These two then float off and one of the actors falls over seemingly in grief. An actor dressed in white looks at someone lying down, behind him is a sea of flames. The End then comes up.
Text appears on the screen saying, ' Meanwhile plots developed, films lengthened and the feature arrived . . . In 1912 "Dante's Inferno" a five reel film from Italy, created a sensation by running at the Tivoli, London, for a year, here is a short extract,'.
Text in a different type face then appears, ' There Minos stands, grinning with ghastly features,'. The actor playing Minos sits on a rock by a cliff face, he is large and bearded with what looks like a tail prop coming from his behind, in front of him stands a demon holding a trident and next to the demon is a white haired man shaking, two actors come on to the set, one is dressed in white and the other is in darker colours, they point around and then leave with the white haired man. Another half naked man comes onto the set.
Then the text appears, 'the stormy blast of Hell with restless fury drives the spirits on, whirled round and dashed amain with sore annoy,'. The two actors stand looking at bodies that are trapped in a whirlwind. The text then says, 'As dove's by fond desire invited on wide wings. And flew to their sweet nest returning home,'. We see the earlier footage of the two spirits coming down to visit the actors. A man and a woman stand in a room, they are the same actors that played the spirits, the woman is dressed as you may expect a Princess to be dressed, while the man is dressed in what looks to be 16th century academic clothing, next to him is table top. The man appears to be reading from a book while the woman talks to him. The text comes up, ' I through compassion fainting seem'd not far from death & like a corpse fell to the ground,'. We know see the spirits fly away, the actor in the dark clothing faints and we once again see the swirl of spirits as they fly over head.
'Cerberus, the cruel three headed dog on guard over the greedy. They are harassed by his continuing howling,'. The two actors now walk through a cave section where they find Cerberus. Cerberus appears to be a puppet, with the three heads waving around, the actual dog appears to be very woolly. The actor in white hits the dog and it yelps, lying its heads on the ground.
'Rutus on guard over the Prodigals and the Avaricious,'. Rutus looks off the screen and when the two actors walk past he starts to growl. Rutus continues to growl but the actor in white makes a hand signal which causes Rutus to stop growling.
The next part of the film is in a purple tint. The actors come into a cave, they are high up on a ledge. They look down to see a cave filled with bones, three naked and long haired people walk into the shot. Some kind of creature jumps on one of them, turning his body into a form that resembles a mummy, when the mummy form disappears the man is covered with markings and moves very stiffly. Another of the creatures does the same to one of the men. The next part of this sequence is in a brown tint. Men with only a rag to protect their modesty come towards the actors who are standing on the cave ledge, one in a hat and a mask pushes them on. Then a headless figure comes in, in his right hand is a head, the head appears to be talking, animatedly.
The two actors are again looking out over the whirlwind of people, an orange tint is being used which makes the people appear to be like flames. We see the same footage of the spirits floating down only in the orange tint. The two actors walk through a path way that has little stones on it, they come into an open clearing where people have been buried up to their necks and are moving their heads around, in the distance we see the devil eating people. We then see tinted footage of the devil which was shown at the start of the film.

As the fellow waits to catch a train, he seemingly finds himself trouble. With the brute force of a strongman, unlucky timing of a gimp, and a broken pocketwatch, he isn't just waiting anymore. Soon he'll be catching the "A" train.
A film project for school, but honestly one of the greatest films i've ever made. And how fitting that it's a silent film, I love silent films! From the intense and thrilling organ music you've always known but never knew the name of. To a very entertaining and comedic story line that could even make the public today laugh out loud. I'm very proud of it and consider it a shining achievement for myself. As well as a homage to the greats of that time, sadly long since gone from the bygone era. To be more specific, I took inspiration from Buster Keatonfor the stunts, Charlie Chaplin for the characters characteristics, and Harold Lloyd for the overall visuals and edits. Also a special thanks to my awesome friends and real characters Logan and DakotaHutchins. I LITERALLY wouldn't of done this if it wasn't for them. Don't think i've ever had a film turn out even better then I expected like this(everyone actually liked it!).
Love this film to bits, hope you enjoy it too!
FunFact: This is my 100th film to be published on Youtube.

Brute Force [aka Primitive Man] (1914) is a short silent drama film directed by D. W. Griffith, in Los Angeles, California. It is a story of cavemen and dinosaurs, and perhaps the first live-action dinosaur film. A segment of my theory is a possibility that the perspective D.W. Griffith's film provided may have triggered a discovery among select few. This discovery, whether already known or newly known, may have triggered many subsequent events, such as the Second World War.
D.W. Griffith Observation. Motion picture legend Charlie Chaplin called Griffith "The Teacher of us All". This sentiment was widely shared. Filmmakers as diverse as John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Lev Kuleshov, Jean Renoir, Cecil B. DeMille, King Vidor, Victor Fleming, Raoul Walsh, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Sergei Eisenstein and Stanley Kubrick have spoken of their respect for the director of Intolerance. Orson Welles said "I have never really hated Hollywood except for its treatment of D. W. Griffith. No town, no industry, no profession, no art form owes so much to a single man."
World War II (WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, though related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis.
It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources.
Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centers (in which approximately one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.
Griffith was discovered unconscious in the lobby at the Knickerbocker Hotel in Los Angeles, where he had been living alone. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage on July 23, 1948, at 3:42 PM on the way to a Hollywood hospital.

Hitler's Secret Weapons: The German U Boat Documentary - Films

Hitler'sSecret Weapons: The German U BoatDocumentary - Films
U-boat is the anglicised version of the German word U-Boot, a minimizing of Unterseeboot, literally "undersea boat". While the German term refers to any kind of submarine, the English one (in common with numerous various other languages) refers specifically to armed forces submarines operated by Germany, specifically in the First and also Second World Wars. Although at times they were reliable fleet weapons against enemy naval battleships, they were most successfully utilized in an economic warfare duty (commerce raiding), applying a marine blockade versus foe delivery. The main targets of the U-boat projects in both wars were the business convoys bringing materials from Canada, the British Empire, as well as the United States to the islands of the United Kingdom and (during the Second World War) to the Soviet Union and also the Allied areas in the Mediterranean.
At the beginning of World war, Germany had twenty-eight U-boats; in the initial 10 weeks, they sank five British cruisers. On 5 September1914, HMS Pathfinder was sunk by SM U-21, the initial ship to have been sunk by a submarine making use of a self-propelled torpedo. On 22 September, U-9 sank the out-of-date British battleships HMS Aboukir, HMS Cressy and also HMS Hogue (the "LiveLure Squadron") in a single hr.
In theGallipoli Campaign in early 1915 in the eastern Mediterranean, German U-boats, especially the U-21, avoided close support of allied troops by 18 pre-Dreadnought battlewagons by sinking two of them. [7]
For the initial few months of the battle, U-boat anti-commerce activities observed the "prize guidelines" of the moment, which controlled the therapy of adversary noncombatant ships as well as their owners. On 20 October 1914, SM U-17 sank the very first business ship, the SS Glitra, off Norway. [8] Surface business raiders were verifying to be ineffective, and also on 4 February 1915, the Kaiser assented to the affirmation of a battle zone in the waters around the British Isles. This was cited as a retaliation for British minefields as well as delivery blockades. Under the instructions provided U-boat captains, they might sink business ships, even potentially neutral ones, unheralded.
In February 1915, a submarine U-6 (Lepsius) was rammed and both periscopes were damaged off Beachy Head by the collier SS Thordis influenced by Captain JohnBellRNR after firing a torpedo. [9] On 7 Might 1915, SM U-20 sank the lining RMS Lusitania. The sinking declared 1,198 lives, 128 of them American civilians, as well as the attack of this unarmed civilian ship deeply surprised the Allies. Baseding on the ship's show, Lusitania was bring armed forces freight, though none were classified as ammo because they were classified as little arms and also had bulk of non-explosives. This extensively made the ship a non-military target. In fact, Lusitania had actually been bring little arms for years prior to the sinking in 1915. It was not up until the sinking of the ferryboat SS Sussex that there was a prevalent reaction in the united state

Dante's Inferno, 1910's - Film 2032

Dante's Inferno. Hell. The devil.
Extracts from 1912 feature film showing use of trick photography for special effects.
The screen text says, 'After 1910 longer, more ambitious films, often derived from famous plays and books became popular,’ this is then replaced with, 'This excerpt from "Dante's Inferno (1912) " show how trick work was used to convey the literary imagery of the original poem,'. We then see two actors on stage, on the floor are bodies, one near the front seems to be moving. We then see a bearded actor with horns coming from the top of his head, in his mouth appears to be the bottom half of somebody, legs kicking in the air, the actor's hands are made up to seem hairy and claw like. We then see a shot of the devil eating a person from a distance.
The two actors from before stand on a ledge looking out over flames. From above two angels come down, a woman and a man supporting her, the actors point at these two. These two then float off and one of the actors falls over seemingly in grief. An actor dressed in white looks at someone lying down, behind him is a sea of flames. The End then comes up.
Text appears on the screen saying, ' Meanwhile plots developed, films lengthened and the feature arrived . . . In 1912 "Dante's Inferno" a five reel film from Italy, created a sensation by running at the Tivoli, London, for a year, here is a short extract,'.
Text in a different type face then appears, ' There Minos stands, grinning with ghastly features,'. The actor playing Minos sits on a rock by a cliff face, he is large and bearded with what looks like a tail prop coming from his behind, in front of him stands a demon holding a trident and next to the demon is a white haired man shaking, two actors come on to the set, one is dressed in white and the other is in darker colours, they point around and then leave with the white haired man. Another half naked man comes onto the set.
Then the text appears, 'the stormy blast of Hell with restless fury drives the spirits on, whirled round and dashed amain with sore annoy,'. The two actors stand looking at bodies that are trapped in a whirlwind. The text then says, 'As dove's by fond desire invited on wide wings. And flew to their sweet nest returning home,'. We see the earlier footage of the two spirits coming down to visit the actors. A man and a woman stand in a room, they are the same actors that played the spirits, the woman is dressed as you may expect a Princess to be dressed, while the man is dressed in what looks to be 16th century academic clothing, next to him is table top. The man appears to be reading from a book while the woman talks to him. The text comes up, ' I through compassion fainting seem'd not far from death & like a corpse fell to the ground,'. We know see the spirits fly away, the actor in the dark clothing faints and we once again see the swirl of spirits as they fly over head.
'Cerberus, the cruel three headed dog on guard over the greedy. They are harassed by his continuing howling,'. The two actors now walk through a cave section where they find Cerberus. Cerberus appears to be a puppet, with the three heads waving around, the actual dog appears to be very woolly. The actor in white hits the dog and it yelps, lying its heads on the ground.
'Rutus on guard over the Prodigals and the Avaricious,'. Rutus looks off the screen and when the two actors walk past he starts to growl. Rutus continues to growl but the actor in white makes a hand signal which causes Rutus to stop growling.
The next part of the film is in a purple tint. The actors come into a cave, they are high up on a ledge. They look down to see a cave filled with bones, three naked and long haired people walk into the shot. Some kind of creature jumps on one of them, turning his body into a form that resembles a mummy, when the mummy form disappears the man is covered with markings and moves very stiffly. Another of the creatures does the same to one of the men. The next part of this sequence is in a brown tint. Men with only a rag to protect their modesty come towards the actors who are standing on the cave ledge, one in a hat and a mask pushes them on. Then a headless figure comes in, in his right hand is a head, the head appears to be talking, animatedly.
The two actors are again looking out over the whirlwind of people, an orange tint is being used which makes the people appear to be like flames. We see the same footage of the spirits floating down only in the orange tint. The two actors walk through a path way that has little stones on it, they come into an open clearing where people have been buried up to their necks and are moving their heads around, in the distance we see the devil eating people. We then see tinted footage of the devil which was shown at the start of the film.
